Who here, has been on the Tower of Terror or the HULK at Disney World?

Tower of Terror was great.  Waiting two hours in line to ride it wasn't.

2 Hours of waiting? That totally BLOWS! We went during the weekday, (in August, after school started up)  about 6:00, and didn't have to stand in line at all. Rode it a couple of times. FUN!

Last time I went to WoF I was going to ride the Mamba.  It was a busy day so the line was long, probably 20 minutes or so.  Finally we get to nearly the front of the line when we get stopped. The guy operating the ride says "Sir, we have a disabled rider coming up and it is our policy to let them go to the front of the line, and they can choose to ride again afterwards. Sorry, blah blah". I'm like fine, whatever, no problem.  Up comes the retard, it's this lady and her son, the lady is retarded but not the son. It's not the vegetable type of retarded either, it's the funny kind, like she would probably say something stupid and everyone feels awkward kind of retarded, but not where she couldn't function on her own in every day life.  That kind of pissed me off, I was expecting someone in a wheelchair or at least some kind of physical disability. She may have limited use of her left arm (the retarded kind where they have it bent over or something) but that's it. 

Well, she rode, and then they asked her if she wanted to ride again, I looked her right in her retarded little beady eyes, and she said "YEEEEEES", so I said &@#% it, I left the line and shortly after I left the park never to return again.

What was the stand up coaster at Worlds of Fun about 15-20 years ago?  It was called the DDT or something??? 
I went to WOF for the first time in years last summer and road the Patriot about 10 times.  Went on a weekday about 11 AM.  It was great. :thumbsup:


I know the one you are talking about - first it was stand up, then it was sit down and then they got rid of it and put up the Timber Wolf....wasn't the stand up one called the EXT or something like that???

nah this one was next door though.  I remember what you are talking about though.

This one was green and you rode the chain in a twisting circle all the way to the top, then it dropped you down and through a couple small underground tunnels.

Here are some pics of the old zambezi.

I know it's really bad.  Went on a small one when I was little, never again.  Couldn't enjoy it.

Cedar Point likes to build record setting coasters!  In this one shot, you can see the world's first continuous-circuit roller coasters to exceed the 200, 300, and 400- foot marks.

What happened to the Orient Express?  I loved that ride when I was a kid.  Also the Tower of Terror scared the crap out of me.  I literally watched a guys back pack rise above his head and slam down when we stopped it was crazy.

lol, it was my own editing that &@#%ed it up. I said a cord, but it turned out that it wasn't a cord after all so I changed it..

Joyland is the best. The wooden roller coaster has decapitated someone before so it does have that going for it.

I wouldn't say that "cable" is incorrect there.  Look earlier in the sentence.
